Concord Times From all parts of the
country come the encouraging reports
that the crops were never more prom
Using than they are now. The failure
of crops for the past two years seems
to have imbued the farmers with re-
newed and determined energy and
they are putting in the best work for
many years. They are paying nor
attention to every department Of farm
ing work, depending on themselves,
more than ever before. Of course
there is danger of floods and drouths,
but if seasons are favorable farmers
will make more abundant crops than
for many years, because they are work
ing harder.

HEALTH

As soon as you're up shake blanket and sheet;
Better be without shoes than cit with wet feet
Children, if healthy, are active, not still;
Damp beds and damp clothing will both make you
i'll;
Eat slowly and chew all your food.very well;
Freshen the air in the house where you dwell
Garments should never be fitted too tight;
Homes should be healthy and airy and light.
If Won wish to. be well,-as you do, I've no doubt
inst open the windows before you go out
Keep the rooms where you live always tidy and
clean;
Let dust on the furniture never be seen
Much illness is caused by the want of pure air,
Now to open the windows be ever your care;
Old rags and old rubbish should never be kept:
People should see that their floors are well swept.
Quick movements in children are healthy and right;
Remember, the young cannot thrive without llgnt ;
See that always the cistern is clean to the brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy and trim
Use your nose to find ont if there is q bad drain,-
Very sad are the fevers that come in its train
Walk as much as you can without feeling fatigue !;
Xerxes himself could walk many a league;
Your health is your wealth, which your wisdom
--must keep; 49,
Zeal will help a good cause, and the good You will

boasts over, especially when the sheriff Is to figure
in the matter, which is quite often. We use this

the cash grip and you will have nothing to regret.
The Racket Store

We have buyers always in the New York Market,

From such houses we buy many of our goods for
less than half what they are worth, -as they are
compelled to sell for what they are offered, for the
cash.
Now one word to my friends of Raleigh and the
surrounding country: If you will come to me and
buy your goods, I will save you money. All I ask
is a trial, and I will convince you. This week l

chased of the statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Company, of st. Louis, Mo-,
one of their celebrated. Home Comfort
Cooking Ranges, take pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and neigh

pronounce them a grand success and IN

the statesmen. We are perfectly satisfied
with our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast iron
stoves and in the long run much the
cheapest. In addition to their good
baking qualities and economy Of fuel,
they furnish the greatest abundance of
hot water, which is a very great
